SEX, MONEY AND TOP PEOPLE

This former bank chairman was filmed handing over money reportedly to buy cocaine and crystal meth. Stuart Davies, a rent boy and associate of the bank chairman, took the film to a newspaper.

The top people do not necessarily deserve big pay.

1.What about the top people at BOEING, the company that built the DREAMLINER?

Boeing awarded Chief Executive Jim McNerney almost $27.5 million in annual compensation for 2012, a 20% increase from a year earlier.

And Boeing has run into trouble.

In November 2013, Japan Airlines pulled its Dreamliners from two international routes because of worries about ice forming on the planes

Aang,the Swiss voted 6:4 against the law that managers should not earn more than 12 fold the lowest salary paid in the respective company. I am glad, my compatriots didn't go for the marxist scheme..Caveman

Re Flowers' excessive pay - I have the answer. We would simply subtract one percentage point from his wage for each use of excessive exclamation marks. Thus in no time at all we'd very quickly arrive at his true worth, ie. nothing.

Bloody Hell!!! I'm broke!!! Who do you know who supplies free drugs and rent boys!!!!

Anyway one does take cheer from such an epic fall. Still, it's not quite the pillory is it? It's a shame it was done away with.

I've carried Victorinox knives since I was a kid. With the company's relative equality in pay, all the more reason to buy their world class products. The best thing is that no referendum had to be voted on, they made the pay decision based on their own best interests.

INVENTOR OF ADHD'S DEATHBED CONFESSION: "ADHD IS A FICTITIOUS DISEASE"

Excerpts:

The alarmed critics of the Ritalin disaster are now getting support from an entirely different side. The German weekly Der Spiegel quoted in its cover story on 2 February 2012 the US American psychiatrist Leon Eisenberg, born in 1922 as the son of Russian Jewish immigrants, who was the “scientific father of ADHD” and who said at the age of 87, seven months before his death in his last interview: “ADHD is a prime example of a fictitious disease”

Since 1968, however, some 40 years, Leon Eisenberg’s “disease” haunted the diagnostic and statistical manuals, first as “hyperkinetic reaction of childhood”, now called “ADHD”. The use of ADHD medications in Germany rose in only eighteen years from 34 kg (in 1993) to a record of no less than 1760 kg (in 2011) – which is a 51-fold increase in sales! In the United States every tenth boy among ten year-olds already swallows an ADHD medication on a daily basis. With an increasing tendency.

When it comes to the proven repertoire of Edward Bernays, the father of propaganda, to sell the First World War to his people with the help of his uncle’s psychoanalysis and to distort science and the faith in science to increase profits of the industry – what about investigating on whose behalf the “scientific father of ADHD” conducted science? His career was remarkably steep, and his “fictitious disease” led to the best sales increases. And after all, he served in the “Committee for DSM V and ICD XII, American Psychiatric Association” from 2006 to 2009. After all, Leon Eisenberg received “the Ruane Prize for Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Research. He has been a leader in child psychiatry for more than 40 years through his work in pharmacological trials, research, teaching, and social policy and for his theories of autism and social medicine”.

And after all, Eisenberg was a member of the “Organizing Committee for Women and Medicine Conference, Bahamas, November 29 – December 3, 2006, Josiah Macy Foundation (2006)”. The Josiah Macy Foundation organized conferences with intelligence agents of the OSS, later CIA, such as Gregory Bateson and Heinz von Foerster during and long after World War II. Have such groups marketed the diagnosis of ADHD in the service of the pharmaceutical market and tailor-made for him with a lot of propaganda and public relations?...
